Non liquid Carb sync tool, What is your favorite?
I've used a bunch over the years,, Homemade, mercury filled, non mercury filled, analog vac gauge based..
What do you have now that you find easy, accurate, low setup, and quick to use.
Price is not an object so much as meeting the needs above.
Thanks
Erik

Been using one of these for 6 or 7 years. After setting up the shortcuts, I can balance in five minutes. www.carbtune.com

CarbTune has been the common response on all forums I asked..
So I guess CarbTune it is this go around.
If not happy with it, I'll build my own using high end Glycol dampened gauges.

I use the Tecmate. Easy to use, and accurate. I've been using it for about 6-8 years now.
Tecmate ? SynchroMate

The TwinMax is another good option.

Are you saying that you have been sync'ing your carbs by adjusting the fuel screws?

Do your homework!

Read the VTR shop manual, section 5 page 21 +/- regarding Pilot Screw adjustment, which should be done in conjunction with syncing the carbs.
BTW, I'm trying to get out the Packjacks and, if weather permits, this Saturday maybe we can meet halfway and I can hand deliver your 2 units, and you can show me some roads up your way?

Judging by your wording of post #8, one would surmise that you have been syncing your carbs by using the fuel screws to sync them. Heck, I don't know if that is even possible.
My bike is in the middle of an engine swap, so I can't show you around. Sorry.

I simply asked if you were syncing your carbs by adjusting the fuel screws.

+1 for several years and easy hook up once front and rear carb manifolds are plumbed no tank lift hook up with motion pro tool modified for d head pilot scew.

Obviously not correct.. we just misunderstood your post. No harm no foul...
Of course you are correct in your later posts, adjusting fuel screw, idle and the sync screw are all part of the proper procedure.
Thanks for the reminder, some may not have realized it was more then hooking up a guage and twisting a screw.

So to confirm turn the idle speed right down till just before stalling and then then turn the pilots both front and rear carbs till you get maximum revs and only then sync carbs?
You need to educate yourself in the proper and complete procedure for carburetor synchronization. If the carbs are reasonably closely synchronized, the first step is to lower RPM as much as possible yet keep the engine running and then adjust the fuel (pilot) screws to achieve maximum RPM. The second step, and only after the first, is to actually sync the secondary carb (rear in the case of the VTR) to the #1 carb (front on the VTR). Many people do not have the knowledge and/or experience (skill) to complete step 1 and just set the pilot screws to an approximate number of turns open (out); i.e., 1.5 front and 1.75 rear for (only) an example in the case of the VTR. However, setting the pilots for maximum revs (and then sometimes backing them off a hair) is the first step.
Do your homework!
